AZ Master Motor is apparently offering to upgrade the new Grand Carniva

Apart from the refreshed Mazda CX-5 line-up, Bermaz Motor is also expected to introduce the CX-8 some time in October. Positioned between the CX-5 and CX-9, the CX-8 is essentially a smaller version of the CX-9, developed for the Japanese market, where vehicles are taxed based on the body size.

Wheelbase is identical for both models, coming in at 2,930
